An interview with photo-book designer Teun van der Heijden

http://www.vogue.it/en/people-are-talking-about/focus-on/2013/05/teun-van-der-heijden

“
Teun started his career as graphic designer and it was his collaboration with the World Press Photo (for which he curates all graphic aspects, including the annual catalogue) that led him to develop an interest in photography, so much so as to want to study it, to fall in love with it and become the most in-demand name among photographers when it comes to design their books.Teun has profusely worked with some of the internationally most esteemed photographers and his books have won numerous awards including the POYi (Picture of the Year international).  ”

Mimmo Jodice

The 29th Festival of Films on Art in Montreal also featured a film by Giampiero D’Angeli and Alice Maxia about the Italian photographer Mimmo Jodice. The film opens with Mimmo Jodice strolling the Mediterranean coast during a beautiful morning light, he speaks about the infinity of the sea while the audience is treated to his photographs of the sea.

The film is an inspiring conversation with the photographer. Jodice describes his journey into photography from the beginning, which was for him in the late 1950s. The next decade was particularly inspiring for him as he had the opportunity to meet artists such as Lucio Amelio, Warhol, Rauschemberg, Beuys, Kounellis, Burri, Pistoletto. He became a teacher of photography at the Naples Academy during a time when such posts were quite unusual for photography. Mimmo Jodice’s photography includes experimental works that explore the relationship of photography to reality and memory. He has continued to photograph the urban environment of Naples, its inhabitants, architecture and sculpture.

The film follows the photographer from the studio to the streets of Naples as he takes photographs with his medium-format film camera. I particularly enjoyed the sequences in the darkroom, where we get a rare glimpse into his darkroom techniques. The film is part of a series titled “Fotografia Italiana”, available on DVD from giart.tv. The other four documentaries in the series are dedicated to: Gabrielle Basilico, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Franco Fontana, and Ferdinando Scianna.

Mimmo Jodice quotes the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa:

“…but what was I thinking about before I got lost in seeing? This phrase seems as though it were written for me and describes my recurring behaviour quite well: I lost myself in seeing, imagining, and following visions outside reality”

Gabor Szilasi – The Eloquence of the Everyday, at McCord Museum in Montreal until February 6, 2011

“Gabor Szilasi (b. Budapest, 1928) has created, over the course of the last 50 years, one of Canada’s most significant and influential bodies of photographic work, by documenting a society that is in constant flux.

The exhibition Gabor Szilasi – The Eloquence of the Everyday is comprised of portraits, domestic and commercial interiors, urban views of Montreal and Budapest, and images of rural Quebec, all contributing to the creation of an intricate social and historical record.
”

At the end of January, I attended a discussion featuring Szilasi,

“ Conversation between photographers

Elliott Erwitt at Maison Européenne de la Photographie

Elliott Erwitt at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie

I had the pleasure to attend the vernissage last week of Elliott Erwitt’s exhibition “Personal Best”. The exhibition at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie includes a comprehensive collection of his work, also published

in the book

This wonderful exhibition started on February 3rd and continues until 4th of April, 2010.

“Avec plus de cent trente œuvres, dont de nombreux tirages d’époque très peu vus, l’exposition retrace l’ensemble du parcours d’Elliott Erwitt depuis soixante ans, à travers une sélection de ses images préférées. Photographe depuis 1948, membre de l’agence Magnum Photos depuis 1953, il est un observateur vif et espiègle de la vie quotidienne ; on trouve parmi ses sujets de prédilection les enfants, les chiens, la plage, la politique et les célébrités. Témoin des grands événements du 20e siècle, ce maître de l’instant est aussi un infatigable homme d’esprit, un humoriste subtil et poétique dont le travail mêle satire et mélancolie. Elliott Erwitt a également réalisé des films documentaires, consultables, pour certains, à la vidéothèque de la MEP.

L’exposition est réalisée en collaboration avec Magnum Photos et le Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia. ”
